this is where my brand-new unwrapped xfinity modem will live, unused, forever.
i recently did some deep cleaning and found the (two years) old modem sitting in a closet. unused because i am perfectly satisfied logging into the xfinity hotspot broadcast from my neighbors and there is no co-ax outlet in my place.
i considered just tossing the thing into the trash, but decided to be a responsible consumer.
after returning the old device to the xfinity store and subsequently discovering that my hotspot access was turned off, i got to take repeat train ride into the city to pick up a new device. it turns out that even though my account is in good standing, a physical device is required to be attached to my account in order to maintain hotspot access.
should i have just tossed the old one? should i just toss this one?
yup. i received my surprise collections notice a couple of days ago. it's a bit disappointing because only a couple months ago i got it all back on track with the SAVE repayment, but apparently Trump has canceled that as well.
no retirement for me i guess? ๐คท
